I've just got my hands on a brand new Nexus 7 and love it! I'm looking for a good quality case (preferrably leather) that will also double as a stand. Not bothered about it having a keyboard though. Also any other must-have accessories?

The one accessory that I would like is the official docking station but that seems to be permanently out of stock.
Did a bit of research in my lunch break and found this http://www.casehappy.co.uk/nexus-7-360-degree-rotating-cover---red-247-p.asp. Looks good quality and I like the fact that it doesn't completely cover the sides of the tablet. Plenty of colours to choose from as well

here's a pic of both case (see nice fit) under e-cig & the speaker (messy desk :eek::D

WHEN the sun is out , its also nice to put mp3's on a micro sd and listen in garden with fab sound
See the reviews if you aren't conviced!
The official case is a very tight fit, adds little to the bulk of the tablet and will happily sit in jacket pockets with it on, so perhaps of interest to LostFool. It is 'plasticky' though.

the other one I have is leather, so firstly when closed, it looks like a regular (paper) notebook, so isn't as attractive to nefarious types.
It also has a hand strap which means you can slip it onto your fingers and not have to actually grip it to hold it. More comfy for long periods reading or for using on the move. It might look daft on the pics but genuinely useful.
It has a built in stand, though its a bit fiddly. Should be obvious from the pics how it works. Will also 'lock' open so the cover doesn't flap around, the official one doesn't have this.

Gladly recommend both.
